A 0.40 kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillated with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. Wha

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

$x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)$

Where:

$x(t)$ - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

$A$ - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

$\omega$ - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\phi$ - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

$a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)$

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by $\omega^{2}\cdot A$ .

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If $k = 12\,\frac{N}{m}$ and $m = 0.40\,kg$ , the natural frequency is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }$

$\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

$a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)$

$a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}$

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

If a car has a momentum of 2.04 x 104 kgm/s and a velocity of 18 m/s, what is its mass?

muminat

Answer:

Mass = 1133.33 kg (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Momentum = 2.04 x 10⁴ kg[m/s]

Velocity = 18 m/s

Find:

Mass

Computation:

Mass = Momentum / Velocity

Mass = [2.04 x 10⁴] / 18

Mass = 1133.33 kg (Approx.)

What would happen if the earth's core was destroyed?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Our atmosphere would be quickly stripped away, much like what apparently happened on Mars after its molten core cooled and solidified. The spinning Earth core is what helps create our magnetic field, without which means no Van Allen Belts, which mean solar radiation becomes more lethal than just sun burn

A 30-g bullet is fired with a horizontal velocity of 450 m/s and becomes embedded in block B, which has a mass of 3 kg. After th

Zolol [24]

Answer:

(a) The velocity of the bullet and B after the first impact is 4.4554 m/s.

(b) The velocity of the carrier is 0.40872 m/s.

Explanation:

(a) To solve the question, we apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows.

we note that the distance between B and C is 0.5 m

Then we have

Sum of initial momentum = Sum of final momentum

0.03 kg × 450 m/s = (0.03 kg + 3 kg) × v₂

Therefore v₂ = (13.5 kg·m/s)÷(3.03 kg) = 4.4554 m/s

The velocity of the bullet and B after the first impact = 4.4554 m/s

(b) The velocity of the carrier is given as follows

Therefore from the conservation of linear momentum we also have

(m₁ + m₂)×v₂ = (m₁ + m₂ + m₃)×v₃

Where:

m₃ = Mass of the carrier = 30 kg

Therefore

(3.03 kg)×(4.4554 m/s) = (3.03 kg+30 kg) × v₃

v₃ = (13.5 kg·m/s)÷ (33.03 kg) = 0.40872 m/s

The velocity of the carrier = 0.40872 m/s.
